WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15
Q selects one of the PAX, and asks them to recite one of the five core principles. – If the PAX provides the correct answer, he “wins” 12 burpees which he must give away to his brothers. Because as we all know, it is better to give than to receive. If the PAX does not provide the correct answer, he cannot give the burpees away, he has to keep them.
IST x 15
Repeato quiz on one of the five core principles (different PAX) – 11 burpees to give away
Windmills x 10
Repeato quiz on core principles – 10 burpees to give away

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC explained the inspiration for the workout was that it is “Giving Season” and the phrase “It is better to give than to receive”. Tried to emphasize how important it is to #giveitaway regarding F3 and all other aspects of life.
MOLESKIN:
Oatmeal and YHC consumed a number of drinks together the night before the workout at a function for a school charitable organization (our M’s are both board members). YHC was feeling pretty good in the minutes before the workout started (this was not to last), but this must be chalked up to the energizing effect of leading a workout. Was happy to see Oatmeal pull up since he certainly had a decent reason to fartsack.
At first it was looking to be a four man, Big 4 vs Big 4 workout, with Coach K and YHC repping OI’ Uncle Ernie (EY) and Oatmeal and Island Time showing up for everyone’s favorite four-letter firm (KPMG). However, Sex Panther showed up just in time to “ruin” this (barely) exciting prospect.
PAX giving incorrect quiz answers will not be named here, but YHC hopes each PAX learned something about the core principles and mission of F3. Being able to recite them is the start, but continually working to understand their meaning is critical. When burpees were being given out by a PAX who provided the correct answer, right away they were divided among the other PAX and completing the burpees became a communal, team effort. Very fitting for this workout.
A guy on a scooter going past on the bridge tried to talk us into a free workout at nearby 9 Round kickboxing gym. Kind of a “Rolling reverse-EH”, but he had no takers among our PAX and SP yelled back that he should instead join us.
This backblast has gone on too long, thanks for reading if you made it this far.
